July 11, 2012– UNITED KINGDOM- Britain put an extra 3,500 military personnel on standby Wednesday to protect venues at the London Olympics, after a private contractor said it may not be able to provide enough security guards on time. The contractor, G4S, had been enlisted to provide the bulk of the 13,200 private security guards across 100 venues, but said in a statement that it may not hit its target because of problems recruiting and training staff. In a statement, the government ministry in charge of crime and security said the troops would be ready to be deployed to cover any shortfall. “We have agreed to offer help to G4S by revising the level of military support,” the Home Office said. Defense Secretary Philip Hammond will confirm the full details to Parliament on Thursday in an official written ministerial statement, the Home Office said. G4S insisted that it still hopes to be able to supply the guards, but Britain’s government is putting the troops on alert to be quickly deployed if the contractor cannot meet its obligations. “This has been an unprecedented and very complex security recruitment, training and deployment exercise, which has been carried out to a tight timescale,” the company said in a statement. “We have encountered some issues in relation to workforce supply and scheduling over the last couple of weeks, but are resolving these every day.” The firm said it accepted “that the government has decided to overlay additional resources.” It was not clear what, if any, penalties the company would face if it failed to meet its contract. Main opposition Labour Party lawmaker Tessa Jowell, Olympics minister in the previous government, said the news was a concern with the London Games due to begin on July 27. “This is clearly a serious problem, and we have to understand how this problem arose,” she said. Britain has committed 553 million pounds ($857 million) for venue security, covering arenas in London and a number of additional locations across Britain — including a southern England sailing center and five soccer stadiums. In the country’s mammoth Olympics security operation, 7,500 troops are already being deployed at venues and 6,000 more had previously been put on stand-by to provide a range of security duties. If all military personnel — including the extra forces announced Wednesday — were deployed, the total would be 17,000 — dwarfing the 9,500 troops Britain currently has on the ground in Afghanistan. About 12,000 police, 3,000 volunteers, Typhoon fighter jets, helicopters, two warships and bomb disposal experts are also part of the vast program aimed at securing the London Games. –Newsday

This is such a pity in the 21st Century; In the time we live in. I studied the provided pic of the short range air defense missile and I thought, this at the Olympic Games. Some of the threats are viable, some a lot of smoke. It is just disgusting. If a person had acne, they would do what ever it would take medically to clear it up and return to that smooth unblemished skin look.
it can be done in this issue.
Just a thought…………

I’m sorry but clearing up a bad case of acne and clearing up a bad case of terrorists is not the same in any shape or form. Too bad it isn’t that easy to clean up those “unsightly”, and don’t forget dangerous terrorists.

An extra 3500 troops for the olympics yet they cannot provide just a dozen more staff to supervise the immigration control at heathrow airport.What a farce.In the UK they seem to preparing for world war three.Two to three hour long queues sets a very bad precedent.How say you ???

Interesting. “Conspiracy theorists” have been saying for a long while that something sinister is planned for the Olympics. I’m believing it more and more. I see they have already started the propaganda of blaming/catching terrorists to pump up this insane sort of “security”. I’ve read that the govt even wants to install missile launchers on top of citizen residences. Does anyone remember all this craziness for any Olympics in the recent past? We already know that London is the surveillance capital of the world. Big Brother always watching…what is planned? I am genuinely worried for family I have there.

Debbie,indeed you are right.We have the highest surveilance capital in the world now.More than 3 million cameras in the UK.To add fuel to the fire and you will not believe but it is true and there are CCTV cameras in most toilets.In Weatherspoon’s pubs for example they have them.In effect you cannot go for a ‘p’ without someone knowing about it.I am not making it up.You could’nt people.

Maybe the Brits are just worried that the good ole USSA is going to execute a false flag on them, sort of a combination of the horrors of 9/11 and the illegal conquest of Libya. Maybe the dear old Queen doesn’t want to be “Ghadifi-ed”, or “Brietbart-ed”, or “Matt Simmons-ed”. After all. we’ve got the King of the World here in Washington, D.C., no? President Cartman: “Whatevah! I do what I waaant!”

I heard in the news they were installing something (rockets? I don’t remember what he said) in a few houses roof. The anchor said was something normal to prepare this way for the Olympics games. This time I will believe their explanation because it makes sense to me. There so many problems around the least they could do it’s to prepare for the safety of the people. On the other hands whatever people said like always nothing will happen in the games. Everything will go smoothly and I pray for my country’s first gold medal.

I saw a headline yesterday that the olympic flame got blown out by high winds as the olympic torch was carried on a boat … sorry, i only read the headlines, so am only giving half the news.
But i was wondering if this was an omen. Just have to wait and see.

The English government just won the right to put missile launchers on top of housing commission unit blocks.. when the people took the government to court, the judge dismissed the case, saying the people had no case at all…. that was early in the week.. and now this? How convenient! Something is going to happen, and its going to be a false flag to get attention, while something else is happening as well.. nothing controls people better than fear. In Sydney they had no where near as much security..and no fear about it happening..

July 28th of this year is the marking of the Last Jewish suffering. Lets hope this prophecy isnt true, its called the 9th Ave..something like that. This is it people, just remember to keep your humanity and pray to God. Its all in his hands.

That’s very interesting about the date called the 9th of Av, where the temple of Jerusalem was destroyed twice, as well as the expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290 on this date in July.

The Olympic hymn to be sung is JERUSALEM, the lyrics describe Jerusalem is to return to England. The rock group chosen to do their featured song describes total chaos coming to London. Check it out for yourselves. It appears to be a call to Satan to bring the return of Jerusalem to England through chaos, human sacrifice and war.
Talk about creepy!

damn just like the NATO summit nothing did happen, and i think nothing will happen peoples just like to make a big deal out of it,because of all the illuminati related symbol in the ceremony,and i never did follow the olympic either, to me it’s just another sport corporations event,, this will be a great distraction for the masses coz when peoples look over here they won’t look over there,

The only reason the Olympics G4S security problem is now being addressed by G4S, is because of the Whistleblower that went to work for them in London . He became so concerned about the lack of security he went on several radio shows to alert everyone of the hiring of workers for the Olympic without any background checks, including drugs being passed around by some of the workers, with the military watching. Fearing an easy terroist target because of this laxity he has gone public and revealed his real name, also fearing personal harm to himself from G4S.
Fortunate for him that he did so!
